A must-know LB name in MN’s 2028 class, Chanhassen’s Hudson Englund is the younger brother of Ollie Englund, a 6’5, 210 lb. freshman DL at UMD. The younger Englund, a recent PRZMN Spring Showcase standout in a loaded LB group, Hudson Englund posted 21 tackles, 3 TFLs on an 11-2 Chanhassen 2025 roster as an off-ball ILB. He displays closing speed and packs a physical punch at the contact, opening his tape with an impressive thump on a RB in the backfield for a TFL. Englund is quick when working around blocks, his closing speed shows up on tape, and he’s comfortable tackling 1v1 in space. The 200 lber. sifts through traffic smoothly and cleanly, sees and triggers on the rock with urgency, and also takes good angles to the football. I smell a big season coming for this 2028 ‘backer!

Last name sound familiar? Chanhassen has another Englund in the house, as Hudson Englund Hudson Englund 6'2" | 200 lbs | LB Chanhassen | 2028 State MN takes over the reigns from his 2025 graduate brother Ollie, a freshman on UMD’s roster right now. Like his older bro, Englund is long, lean, still-developing, and owning a noticeable amount of room to fill in, with a can’t-miss frame amongst a talented LB group that descended on the PRZMN Spring Showcase. Englund was rangy in both run and pass defense, and his quickness helped him maintain phase with shifty RBs at the top of the route, after which his length aided him when contesting at the catch point. High ceiling on this rising upperclassman from the 5A heavyweight Storm.
